Chapter 50: Brief Freeze

Translated by XephiZ

The masked Player was none other than Chen Mo.

The observant Chen Mo had a better understanding of the game than most Players that were busy leveling their characters after interacting with the NPC of the same quest repetitively for more than ten times.

The NPCs in the game did not have a fixed behavior. Chen Mo had received the same quest from Gleeson more than ten times. The quest might be the same, but the words that Gleeson said every time were different.

From the different conversations they had, and taking the situation of the Wolf Valley and the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf into consideration, Chen Mo was able to deduce some useful information even though the quest did not progress to the next step.

When Gleeson summoned the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf, the creature had been causing a lot of troubles. In the end, Gleeson had no choice but to use the Icy Stone Water to entrap the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf in the Wolf Valley with the help of Aiur Town’s NPCs.

However, that was not all of it. Chen Mo also learned that the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf was not just a Boss Monster with a great lust to kill. It could actually communicate with humans. Otherwise, even though the Icy Stone Water was its weakness, it would not compromise and agree to stay in the Wolf Valley if it could not communicate with the humans.

That being said, if anyone was to run at the creature without the Icy Stone Water, it went without saying that the creature would not bother communicating with them.

“See this? It’s the thing that you are the most scared of, and the thing you wanted the most too. If you can agree to some of my conditions, I can give it to you. You can then leave this good-for-nothing valley and go anywhere you please!” Chen Mo knew he had gotten Glacier Gaming Club’s attention. He was running short on time.

Roar!

The Three-Headed Fiery Wolf did not speak in human language. He knew what Chen Mo was saying, but all three of his heads were brimming with anger. Those humans had used the same thing to make him suffer. Even just a little of it had given him great pain, forcing him to stay in such a small valley.

He had the urge to pounce on the human and tear him into pieces, but at the same time, he was afraid of the special liquid inside the sphere that was emitting an icy aura.

“Do you really want to die? The humans out there are here to kill you. You can only live for another half an hour at most! Even if you managed to survive half an hour later, I will still give this Icy Stone Water to Solo if you don’t agree to my condition. You will be trapped in this valley forever!”

Chen Mo noticed the anger in the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf’s eyes. He had no choice but to emphasize his intention again to calm the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf down.

As he thought, even though the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf became angrier at the mention of his death, the anger in his eyes was gradually replaced with a cold murderous look.

“Very well, I’m only asking for one thing, and it won’t bring you any loss at all. If you agree to form a pact with me, I will give you the Icy Stone Water. You can then leave this place and go anywhere you want. If you are interested in hearing my condition, nod your head.”

Chen Mo quickly explained his intention. He was not intimidated by the murderous look from the Boss Monster.

“It nodded! The Boss Monster just nodded!”

Chen Mo and the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf had long attracted everyone’s attention. They all realized that Chen Mo was no ordinary person when the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf did not kill him right away. They were even more dumbfounded when they saw the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf nodding at Chen Mo.

Not only was the man able to communicate with the Boss Monster, he even convinced the Boss Monster to agree to something. Who exactly was him?

“Get ready to attack!” Lofty Glacier knew the masked Player had reached an agreement with the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf after seeing the monster’s reaction.

He immediately fell into a great panic.

“But we aren’t prepared yet!” a Player blurted out.

“We are running out of time. Everyone, on my mark!” Lofty Glacier yelled furiously.

He was not just a random Player, but an authority of Glacier Corporation Group. He was placed in charge of the operation to slay the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf.

The money that had spent on spreading the news for the past few days was not his main concern. However, if the plan they spent so much time and effort on failed in the end, they were going to end up as a laughing stock!

Someone would have to hold responsibility for it when the time came, and he was obviously going to be the first victim!

They might still fail if they were to carry out the attack now, but it was better than just standing still and watching someone coming to an agreement with the Boss Monster right in front of them!

So many people had seen the Boss Monster nodding at the masked Player. If he did not react now, he would be blamed for his indecisiveness, and the corporation group would never entrust important tasks to him again!

On the other hand, if he failed because he had decided to carry out the attack earlier, it was still a reasonable decision. He still had a chance to redeem himself in the future even if he was to be blamed for the failure!

“Very well, I only have one condition. I will give you the Icy Stone Water so you can leave this place, but every time you see me in the future, not only are you not allowed to hurt me, you have to do me a favor too. I won’t ask you to hurt yourself. If I do, you can just reject my request! If you agree to it, we’ll form a pact right now!”

Chen Mo was constantly keeping an eye on Glacier Gaming Club’s movement. He proceeded to explain his condition.

The Three-Headed Fiery Wolf was startled. Just that?

The condition was basically non-existent if he did not see the human again!

He had no reason to not accept it!

The Three-Headed Fiery Wolf instantly made up his mind!

“Huh? What now!?”

The people watching the broadcast suddenly noticed the broadcast freezing for an instant. Everyone in the game was unable to move too.

“Perhaps there’s some problem with the transmission?”

However, everything went back to normal after less than two seconds. Many people that were watching the broadcast shared the same thought.

Only the Players that were in the game knew the freeze was not caused by a problem with the transmission, but the game actually froze for more than a second!

Their consciousness was still around when the freeze happened, but they were unable to control their character. It was exactly the same as a traditional game freezing briefly!

Only Chen Mo who was standing in front of the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf knew the reason behind the freeze.

He did it! He actually caused the game to freeze!

He had done it even though the freeze only lasted for more than a second!

Chen Mo was overjoyed when the freeze occurred. He knew he had finally found a bug in the game!

Chen Mo realized it was unlikely he could discover a bug in the game using the normal approach. Therefore, Chen Mo decided to use a different approach on the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf that was designed to be part of a regional quest.

After interacting with Gleeson numerous times, Chen Mo learned that the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf was going to die as the quest progressed. Therefore, he decided to choose a completely opposite approach by helping the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf live. Not only would the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf, he would also leave the valley and go anywhere as he pleased!

Chen Mo was only giving it a try. It was never going to work in traditional games since it was not part of the script that the game designers had implemented, but the important NPCs in Genesis clearly had their own A.I. which granted them their own thoughts. The fact that Gleeson’s response was different every time he came was an obvious proof to it.

System Notification: You have formed a pact with the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf!

Details of the Pact: You have given the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf the Icy Stone Water. Every time the Three-Headed Fiery Wolf sees you, he will do you a favor that does not endanger his own life!
